Head Coach “Metallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev believes that his team was unlucky in the game against “Avant-garde” but players have to deal with such situations.
On Wednesday, Metallurg lost to Avangard in Fonbet’s away match of the KHL Championship (3:4 OT). The Urals led twice during the game, but failed to maintain the advantage. Avangard scored the third goal a minute before the end of regulation time.
“It was a playoff-level game, which is what we expected from the encounter with Avangard,” Vorobyov said. – A little was not enough when we had a good 2 against 1 in overtime, and then it flew in the opposite direction.
– Can we say that today “Magnitogorsk” was sued by bad luck? In overtime, the player’s stick broke, Akolzin missed the empty net…
“There was something like that somewhere. But these moments must be able to be dealt with, to be broken.
– Is the crisis that was foreseen in your team behind now?
– I hope. After the game, I told the guys that if we play like we did today, everything will change.
Metallurg and Avangard now have 66 points each. The clubs are ranked third and fourth respectively in the KHL Eastern Conference standings, two points behind the leader Avtomobilist.
